GENERAL:

★ In Character

☆ PHYSICAL AFFECTION/HUGGING/KISSING ETC: Ed is a very stand-offish character when it comes to physical affection, so do not expect this to be well received. Friends have gotten away with hugs and a kiss on the cheek.

☆ FLIRTING: Ed is going to get very awkward, so if your character enjoys blushing, I guess have at it.
☆ PHYSICAL VIOLENCE: He's from a canon where fighting is the norm, but please discuss it with me if your character plans to attack him.
☆ INJURY: I'm all for injury in a fight, having artificial limbs means Ed can come out of some more severe "injuries" mostly unharmed as long as a mechanic can fix him up. Again, this would require discussion.
☆ KILLING THIS CHARACTER: I've done it before, but I would prefer to avoid it unless there's a specific plot related reason.
In games where revival from death is not an option I will not be killing him permanently.
☆ RELATIONSHIPS: Ed is not an easy ship! I always say if it develops naturally, it'll happen.

In summary: ed's like, "my heart forever belongs to al. and that doesn't sound weird at all." - quote courtesy of

hardededged

In all seriousness though, Ed's still vaguely preoccupied with someone from another game so he might be hard to get into a committed relationship. He's also more experienced which means more comfortable with things like flirting and physical affection than might be expected.

☆ PSYCHIC/PSIONIC/MINDREADING/TELEPATHY: He's a normal human being with normal human limits. He can't use or block these abilities, please discuss with me first if you intend to do this.
☆ MAGICAL INFORMATION: Ed's an alchemist, what he considers science your character may consider magic.
☆ MEDICAL INFORMATION: For anyone that doesn't know, Ed has two metal prosthetic limbs. He wears full length sleeves and gloves to cover them, but he's not so secretive to go out of his way to conceal them. If your character is perceptive enough to pick up on this or has a super human ability that would detect it, feel free to notice! He's also covered in scars, but that's not unusual.
☆ CHARACTERS THAT CAN DETECT DEATH: Ed was shot in a previous game (he has not yet died at this point in canon), let me know if your character would be aware of this or if you need more details etc.
☆ OFFENSIVE SUBJECTS & TRIGGERS: Ed has some pretty weird triggers thanks to previous game history. Sometimes I still find myself surprised by new things I hadn't expected. He pretty much refuses to drink tea and won't even discuss eating crab (long story), he's had time to get over some of his major canon triggers - like talking animals - most topics are things he can generally handle.
☆ ANYTHING ELSE? His personality info, if you want the TL;DR version.
Feel free to overreact to his alchemy or automail. He's used to it.

☆ Important Appearance Info

☆ 2003 VS MANGA INFO For those of you manga/Brotherhood familiar, (especially those canon blind to 2003):

- '03 Ed does not have the same gaudy gothic tastes as his manga counterpart.
- In fact, many of their personality traits are vastly different.
- Ed has a scar on his abdomen similar to manga Ed's due to an in-game event that resulted in another character attacking him
- I borrow some manga canon stuff that isn't explicitly stated/explored in the '03 series as "head canon" as long as it makes sense/isn't contradicted in '03 canon. (for instance, Ed's nightmares and pain in the rain etc.)
- If you're curious about anything there or something seems contradictory in that it only applies to manga Ed in canon, that may be why.
- I am always happy to discuss/explain any of these topics!

If you have any questions about what your character is looking at or should experience, please feel free to contact me before tagging.

★ Out of Character

☆ BACKTAGGING: Yes, I suffer migraines and can go a few days between tags so I am SUPER back tag friendly! Please let me know if this will be an issue for you and you'd rather discuss/drop a thread!
☆ THREADHOPPING: Please discuss first.
☆ FOURTHWALLING: No thanks.
☆ ANYTHING ELSE? ~~Ed doesn't so much have a Milotic, as one kind of follows him around and checks up on him on occasion~~. Ed now officially has a Milotic, so chances are characters won't see it anymore, since he keeps it in a ball. If you'd like to thread with any of Ed's pets, please let me know!
